Since this stew is so hearty, comforting, and delicious, it's probably way more fitting for chilly October days and not the middle of August. However, I'm sharing the recipe now since I'm sure by the time some cold weather rolls around I'll have forgotten all about it. Anyways, it's not that long until Fall (gasp, did I really just say that? Nooooo).
About two cups of tortellini.
One package of smoked sausage (kielbasa). Sliced into half inch rounds.
One small (8 ounce) can of diced tomatoes.
Five cups of chicken stock.
A large handful of chopped kale.
Salt, pepper, red pepper, and Italian spices.
Bring chicken stock to a boil. And add onion, carrots, canned tomatoes, and tortellini.
When tortellini is almost tender add kale, corn, and peas.
When everything is hot and tortellini is tender add spices to taste.
If you need to add more stock do.

Austin church makes changes to services concerning coronavirus
By Amanda Ruiz
There have been over 80,000 confirmed cases of the Coronavirus, or COVID-19, worldwide. One church in Downtown Austin is responding to this by taking extra steps during its congregations to protect its worshipers.
AUSTIN, Texas - There have been over 80,000 confirmed cases of the Coronavirus, or COVID-19, worldwide. One church in Downtown Austin is responding to this by taking extra steps during its congregations to protect its worshipers.
"There's been a lot of information about being aware and being especially concerned about congregational gatherings and this is obviously a congregational gathering," said Reverend Janet Maykus.
Reverend Janet Maykus is the Interim Senior Minister at Central Christian Church in Downtown Austin. She says she has been keeping up with the news on the Coronavirus.
"This is a new virus that we're not aware of and it's spreading rapidly. We don't know exactly how the ramifications of what that will be," she said.
To prepare, this church is taking all the precautions it can to protect its worshipers.
"There are a lot of things that we're not in control of, we are only in control of what our actions are," said Reverend Maykus.
During the service, only bread was served during communion and the people passing it out wore gloves. People were also told to refrain from shaking hands and hugging during the passing of the peace. Instead, they were encouraged to bump elbows and flash peace signs.
"We can enjoy each other's company without touching each other and spreading all of our germs. We're doing what we can to be good stewards," said Reverend Maykus.
Reverend Maykus says the church will continue these precautions until told otherwise.
"We will continue to do all the sorts of things that we do as a Christian community, but we're also going to be aware of the science and we're going to follow the directions that the various researchers and doctors have asked," she said.
The Central Christian Church does not have any plans to cancel any services in the future.

ANCHOR BAY FILMS WELCOMES MOTHER'S DAY TO THEIR UPCOMING SCHEDULE!
Anchor Bay Films has announced today it has acquired the horror film Mother's Day, directed by Saw veteran Darren Lynn Bousman and starring Rebecca DeMornay, Jamie King, Deborah Ann Woll and Shawn Ashmore. The film is a loose remake of the original Troma film of the same name directed by Charles Kaufman. The announcement, which includes rights North American rights, was made by Bill Clark, President of Anchor Bay Entertainment.
"With Saw's Darren Lynn Bousman at the helm, and a cast featuring DeMornay, Ashmore and Woll, Mother's Day has an unbeatable horror pedigree," noted Kevin Kasha, Executive Vice President, Acquisitions and Co-Productions. "We're thrilled to add this chiller to the Anchor Bay Films roster of terror classics."
After a bank robbery gone wrong, three brothers head for home…only to discover that their mother lost the house in a foreclosure. The new owners and their guests, gathered for an ill-timed birthday party, become the brothers' unwitting hostages. Their mother and sister arrive, and it soon becomes obvious that Mother will do absolutely anything to protect her children. In one terrifying evening, Mother brilliantly takes control of the situation and masterminds her sons' escape. Sides will be taken, secrets revealed, and sins punished as the hostages struggle to make it through the night.
Mother's Day is directed by Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw II – IV), produced by Brett Ratner and Richard Saperstein with Jay Stern, Brian Witten, Jessie Rusu, Curtis Leopardo and Shara Kay. It stars Rebecca DeMornay (The Hand That Rocks The Cradle, The Wedding Crashers), Jamie King (Sin City, The Spirit), Deborah Ann Woll ("True Blood"), Patrick John Flueger ("Footloose") and Shawn Ashmore (X-Men 2, Frozen). Mother's Day is presented by LightTower Entertainment in association with Widget Films, The Genre Company and Rat Entertainment.
Mother's Day is "a relentless feat that forced me to reconsider what American horror is capable of…" said Ain't it Cool News. Dread Central added, "Mama's boys have once again made their mother very proud."
The deal was negotiated by Josh Thomashow and Kevin Kasha for Anchor Bay Films and Ben Weiss from Paradigm for the film.

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands but seeing with new eyes. Marcel Proust
Go to Hang Son Doong Cave, Vietnam
COMPLETED BY 2
LISTED 34
At more than 200m high, 150m wide and 5km long, the Hang Son Doong cave in Vietnam is so big it has its own river, jungle and climate.
Son Doong Cave is in the heart of the Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park in the Quang Binh province of Central Vietnam. Only recently explored in 2009-2010 by the British Cave Research Association, the cave has only been open to the public since 2013.
Less people have seen the inside of Hang Son Doong than have stood on the summit of Mount Everest. Join us on this otherworldly expedition and become one of the lucky few who have had the life changing experience of exploring the world's largest cave.
With ceilings towering over 200 metres high in places, the cave is a humbling and belittling experience. The entrance is quite small and mist from the cave, caused by the cooler air inside meeting the hot air outside, rises into the surrounding forest. Visitors must descend 80m down a steep wall with the use of harnesses and ropes. The huge temperature difference also creates moving clouds of mist, especially near the two karst windows, which gives the cave its magically surreal atmosphere. It is amazing to be 3-4km inside the cave. The dimensions of the cave are incredible and to camp for five nights in the biggest cave in the world is not something most of get to do in our lifetime.
HOW WAS SON DOONG CAVE FIRST DISCOVERED?
From an early age, local man Ho Khanh used to spend weeks on end trekking and maneuvering his way through the jungles of the Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, searching for food and timber to earn a modest income.
In 1990 while out on a hunting mission, Ho Khanh stumbled across an opening in a limestone cliff and moved forward to investigate. As he approached he noticed clouds billowing out of the entrance, and could hear the sounds of a river raging from somewhere inside the cave.
When he could feel a strong wind also blowing out from the cave, he decided to move on without further inspection. By the time he had returned to his home a few days later, he had forgotten its exact location and thought no more of it.
At the same time two members of the British Cave Research Association (BCRA), Howard and Deb Limbert, were basing themselves in Phong Nha to conduct exploratory cave expeditions in the area. While chatting with Ho Khanh one day, he mentioned to the caving experts that he had found a cave with clouds and a river inside. Howard and Deb were intrigued and urged Ho Khanh to try and rediscover the cave. After many failed attempts, they began to think this elusive cavern might remain lost in the jungle forever more.
In 2008 while out on another food gathering trip, Ho Khanh found the mysterious opening again and studiously took note of the path on how to get there. In 2009 he led Howard, Deb and a team of professionals back to the cave for the first expedition to enter what would later become known as Hang Son Doong, or 'Mountain River Cave'.

Bucket List Blog
© 2015 BUCKETLIST 127


-when i was five, she sang lead and played the keyboard in an all girl band called Lady Deluxe. i remember being in the basement during their rehearsals and dancing around to their cover of Chaka Khan's "Ain't Nobody." probably the reason it's still one of my favorite songs to this day. i remember shows downtown at Hart Plaza. i remember music infusing every part of my life.
-when i was eight, she went to travel school and started a travel agency specializing in cruises and vacation packages. i learned so much about the travel industry i would later list it on my resume.
-although it was a pretty successful business, she bored of that after a few years and opened a flower and hat shop, where i learned how to make at least 30 different bouquets and enough about flowers and color combinations to last a lifetime. that was my first official job. the hats were a hit as well, the sunday church ladies found a nice home there.
-but, she was a writer at heart. after that, she wrote three incredibly funny, well-written screenplays (which i'd stay up ALL night reading the moment she'd finish.) that somehow garnered the interest of Babyface and co. during the whole HavPlenty days. you snooze you lose though, and after not following up with that opportunity, it somehow fell through.
-next, she recorded a gospel cd and began performing at churches all around Michigan. i'd been harmonizing with her all my life so naturally, i sang backup on a number of songs. she sold a good amount of cds, and i was added as the lead to an all girl group a la Destiny's Child via her producer and sent to perform around the midwest. during this time, my mother, a la Tina Knowles, sewed outfits and endless pieces of elaborate beaded jewelry for me to wear (she'd been making and selling her jewelry for as long as i could remember).
-when that was done… she began selling corporate health and life insurance, landing big account after impossibly big account all on the strength of her knowledge, will, and likability.
so… great, i have a lot of random talents. thing is, so do a lot of other people. i read that quote above from Stephen King a few weeks ago and stared at it for a long while. i thought about all the extraordinarily talented individuals i know and the talented people they know, and i realized that he's right, there will never be a shortage of amazingly talented people on this earth. i thought of all the great things my mother has done, and how they could've been just that much greater if she'd chose one talent, and stuck to it. and then used that momentum to allow for freedom to pursue other interests.
then i made the decision to stick to one thing professionally for now, and that's writing. because sometimes, when you're good at a lot of things, it's easy to become overwhelmed with the possibilities. a friend of mine calls this the curse of the Creative. it's easy to let your interests pull you onto paths you don't necessarily need to be on at that particular moment in life. an overload of talent can be paralyzing if not carefully utilized. and when things have always come easy to you, it's even easier to quit when easy is no longer enough, and it takes actual work on top of talent to cross that hump from having a string of small successes to reaching that defining, sustaining success. i won't allow myself to quit another thing so, it looks increasingly like there's simply a lot of hard work ahead of me.
will i still love to sketch and paint and sing and do photography, and do i still want to learn how to play the guitar? yes! and i definitely want to someday open a center for youth focused on developing the creative arts. will i foolishly try to pursue all of these endeavors at once from now on? absolutely not.
because focusing on your focus is a lot easier when you actually have one.
have you ever been afflicted by the creative curse? what's your solution to staying focused? i wonder if there is something akin to this in math and science, like.. "do i attend this algebraic geometry conference, or do i take this internship for quantum physics? i just can't decide!" lol.
It's so perfectly written.. And umm, the amount of crap you've done makes me feel a certain way.. but it's a healthy jealousy..
Focus is hard when your mind is scattered in several directions.. I have my mind focused on one thing and I'm still having a hard time!
"scatterbrained" happens to be my mom's favorite thing to call me. she has some nerve. lol.
Girl, I do so much-too much -then get mad when I feel overwhelmed. Love the honesty in the post.
I am a teacher by trade. However, I blog, wanted a cupcake company 2 years ago now I just make em all the time, I scrapbook (big time) photo journal, coupon, make sweet tables, tutor, provide financial advice, organizer, back in the day hair model, event planner and I just discovered my green thumb.
But you know what Muze-being a jack of all trades is better than being just a jackass!!!!
hahahaha. i love that last line.
wow. you've done a lot! from the looks of it, a lot of people have this problem. i'm really glad it's so common because i was starting to think i really need some focus therapy. lol.
I am late to this party but glad to be here. I just finished writing a piece about being a Jill of All Trades myself, and am in constant rumination about the subject. I am forcing myself to unhide my writings and to finish that book/maintain that blog/share it!
Meanwhile a tillandsia project sits to my left, a box of beads for more jewelry-making to my right, and a laundry list of cooking, gardening, fashion, and travel business ideas and plans hold down the corners of my room. All that to say, I feel you, and we must not lose ourselves in the wealth of it all. It is our wealth, we just need to learn how to manage it. Thanks for writing that.

FOUR RIVERSTONE ELECTORATE ORGANISATIONS TO SHARE $243,305 OF NSW GOVERNMENT FUNDING
Written on the 5 September 2019 by Kevin Conolly
Member for Riverstone, Kevin Conolly MP, announced today that four local community organisations in the Riverstone electorate have been successful in the public vote to receive NSW Government grants from the 'My Community Project' under the NSW Generations Fund; sharing a total of $243,305.
Riverstone High School will receive $79,251 for an outdoor gym. The Ponds School will receive $86,554 for outdoor Sun Safe Shade Sails with support from the Blacktown Ponds Lions Club. The Riverstone Girl Guides will receive $50,000 to support their local community focused education program. Open Local will receive $27,500 to develop a FixMyStreet app to make it easier to report issues in the local area.
"I congratulate these four organisations in winning community support for their applications. Without this type of funding supporting from the NSW Liberal Government these projects which will benefit the local community greatly would most likely not occur," said Mr Conolly.
The NSW Government is investing a total of $24.68 million in projects across NSW to help improve the wellbeing of the people and communities. My Community Project is made possible by the NSW Generations Fund. The fund helps keep the state's debt at a sustainable level, while sharing the benefits of its returns with the people of NSW by funding community projects.

Tonet and I had dinner Sunday at Envie, one of the vegan restaurants here in Halifax. It's on the higher end of what I'm willing to spend when eating out, but the food is stellar. The matcha latte, king wings (oyster mushroom cutlets), cheezeburger (seitan patty), chickpea and vegetable soup and cheezecake (with dulce de leche) were all delicious.

BOSTON – The 35th edition of Suffolk softball will get underway this weekend as the first pitch of the 2019 season will be thrown at the Spring Games. The Rams will compete in 10 games over four days in Central Florida.
Stay up-to-date with all the latest news and notes on Suffolk Athletics by connecting with the Rams on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Be sure to use the hashtag #RamNation for an insider's look at Suffolk's teams and student-athletes.
THE SPRING GAMES
THE Spring Games is the World's largest college softball event. It was founded in 2008 by Dr. Dot Richardson and is held in Clermont, Florida at the Legends Way Ballfields at the National Training Center. The Games are a series of college softball games open to all colleges and universities across the USA and Canada, which hosts Division I, Division II, Division III, NAIA and Junior College (JUCO) throughout the Lake County and Central Florida.
SUFFOLK'S SCHEDULE
U. of New England
Montclair State
William Paterson
Fortune Road Field 4
Diamond Plex Field 1
Osceola Softball Complex Field 5
Suffolk made it to the conference championship clash once again a year ago, but came up short versus Johnson & Wales to finish as the GNAC's runner up for the second straight season and 31-9 overall. The Rams' race for the conference crown saw the blue-and-gold take the regular-season title behind a 22-2 league ledger.
RAMS ROSTER
Jaclyn Davis has a fresh look to her roster this season as the 18 student-athletes who assemble to the ranks are split in half by returners and rookies. Highlighting the group is two-time all-league selection junior Ashley Zulla (.432/.500, .802), who will take her talents from right field to behind the dish this year.
Seniors Jaclyn Flint (.381/.423/.571), McKenzie McGrath (.361/.410/.435) and Hannah DelCervo (10.2 IP, 15 Ks) are back in blue-and-gold for their final campaigns and look to lead Suffolk to GNAC glory for their first time in the Davis era and first since the league's inaugural season in 1996.
Suffolk will also get a boost from its quartet of sophomores Grace Boehler, Hailey Cockroft, Kelly Keane and Constance Phelan, who built up solid experience last season.
RAMS ROOKIES
Suffolk's nine-member freshmen class is built up of variety of talent with two positional pitchers in Alexis Bonilla and Kennedy Reyes. Bonilla can also play first, while Reyes can fill in where needed as a utility. Karina Bua and Riley Mulligan are also utility players, while Brianna Loughlin, Bianca Luciano and Caitlin Murphy are strictly outfielders. Brooke Cloak will bring more experience in the infield along with Julia Carfagno, who suits up as a catcher or in the infield.
Jaclyn Davis enters her seventh season as head coach of Suffolk softball. Two years ago, she cemented her spot as the winningest coach all-time in Suffolk softball history and currently sits with a 168-128 career record on the Rams' bench.
LEADING OFF
Since 1987 Suffolk is 7-24 in the first game of the season. Starting in 1995 the Ram have taken a neutral field on day one of the season and picked up five of their opening day victories on neutral turf. Underneath Jaclyn Davis, Suffolk is 2-4 on opening day.

Q: Protractor tests fail on IE when developer tools closed Situation
I'm trying to run some automated tests in Internet Explorer. They already run fine in Firefox, but for some reason, they will only run as expected in IE when I open up the developer tools shortly after the browser window opens.
Basically, these two tests are not compatible with each other while dev tools is closed:
it('logs in', () => {
    browser.get('/#/login');

    element(by.model('vm.credentials.username')).sendKeys('noaccounts@neocles.io');
    element(by.model('vm.credentials.password')).sendKeys('test1234');

    element(by.css('#sign-in')).click();

    expect(browser.driver.findElement(by.css('#sign-in')).getAttribute('class')).toMatch(/\bloading\b/);

    expect(element(by.css('.account-list p:last-child')).getText()).toBe('AccountPage.NoAccountsForUser');
    expect(browser.driver.findElement(by.css('#sign-in')).getAttribute('class')).not.toMatch(/\bloading\b/);
});

it('autoselects single account', () => {
    browser.get('/#/login');

    element(by.model('vm.credentials.username')).sendKeys('shopowner@neocles.io');
    element(by.model('vm.credentials.password')).sendKeys('test1234');

    element(by.css('#sign-in')).click();

    expect(browser.getCurrentUrl()).toBe('http://localhost:8000/#/');
});

Expected behavior
So in both tests it's doing a login action, which causes the Authorization header on subsequent requests to be set to a certain value. Then a list of accounts is fetched, that you have access to, and this list is based on the token that is sent through the Authorization header. For the first test, the list is empty, for the second, there should be one account.
Actual behavior
What happens is that in the second test, it seems to be doing requests to the server with the Authorization header that was set during the first test. Either that, or it is caching the XHR request in the first request and using that in the second. I can't tell for sure, because, as I said, it works when dev tools is open, so I can't verify that that is what is happening.
Any ideas?

A: I would try to set the "ensure clean session" to true in your capabilities config:

Q: MSDeploy - preSync command On one of our sites we have a few videos that are viewed via html5, if someone has the website open (and streaming the video file) our web deploy fails as it cannot delete the video file in  use.
I've tried using the preSync:RunCommand attribute to stop the website so the files cannot be streamed, with the idea to bring it back up with a postSync command.
But it seems that the video files are attempted to be deleted BEFORE the preSync, as my deploy will fail with the same error (cannot delete video file). But if i make sure the video isnt being downloaded then the site is deployed and turned off as expected.
Shouldnt the PreSync command be run BEFORE the 'syncing' part?

Iran blames blackouts on bitcoin-mining facilities, but true cause may be systemic issues
Government closing down crypto-mining facilities across the country
Dan Swinhoe
Rolling blackouts in Tehran and other majors cities across Iran have been blamed on bitcoin mining.
The Iranian Government launched a wide-ranging crackdown on Bitcoin processing centers, reports the AP. Authorities are thought to have closed 1,600 centers across the country, including those legally authorized to operate.
The high energy demands of cryptocurrency mining are being blamed for blackouts, air pollution, and smog across the country. However, experts say Bitcoin mining consumes less than two percent of Iran's total energy production and cryptocurrencies are an easy target in the face of "decades of mismanagement."
"Bitcoin was an easy victim here," said Kaveh Madani, a former deputy head of Iran's Department of Environment.
Sanctions lead to rise in state-sanctioned crypto-mining

The drive to mine cryptocurrency in the country has been driven in part by sanctions imposed by former US President Donald Trump. Iran's subsidized energy sector means energy is cheap in the country, costing around 4 cents per kilowatt-hour, compared to an average of 13 cents in the United States. The country reportedly has 450MW of mining capacity per day.
"Iranians understand the value of such a borderless network much more than others because we can't access any kind of global payment networks," said Ziya Sadr, a Tehran-based Bitcoin expert, to the AP. "Bitcoin shines here."
Last year the Iranian Government issued new regulations that required licensing bitcoin miners to sell their coins directly to the Central Bank, and issued more than 1,000 licenses to crypto miners. The country reportedly has authorized 24 Bitcoin processing centers that consume an estimated 300MW a day.
"It is clear that here has turned into a heaven for 'miners,'" Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi, Iran's minister for information and communications technology, previously told the AP.

Discussion: Spoilers… How Soon is Too Soon?
SPOILERS: HOW SOON IS TOO SOON?
How soon is too soon to publicly talk about a major book/movie/TV show spoiler? Ah, that's the age-old question. I think we as a book community tend to be a little bit more aware of how we talk about spoilers because a reading experience is so much more time-consuming than a (single) viewing experience and we understand that not everyone will have finished a book by the time we've finished. I feel like it's also more common to read a book long after its release date, where spoilers will still need to remain secret. And even though I feel like reading has never been more of a social experience as it is now, I feel that it can still be the least talked-about media when directly comparing books, movies, and TV shows.
No matter the form of media, there's always a window where fans refrain from revealing any spoilers so other fans can also enjoy the experience (well, we hope everyone is so considerate. I think we have a fairly good track record with this in the book community). So how long should fans wait before openly discussing spoilers? A month? A year? Forever? I don't think we'll ever have a definitive answer. Personally, I try to avoid all spoilers at all times, because you just never know who is going to be a new member of a fandom that's exploring these stories for the first time… BUT I'll also admit to openly discussing major spoilers for major MAJOR series like Harry Potter, where the books have been out for decades and the movies have been out for a number of years so I assume the spoilers have already been revealed to whoever may be exposed to them. That still may not be safe though. I still know quite a few friends who haven't read or watched Harry Potter and some who just did so for the first time and managed to avoid major spoilers before they did so. That just tells me that it's really never safe to speak openly about these things because there's always someone who will be starting this journey for the first time.
I do understand that the media may not feel the same way, but I also feel like some forms of media are being way too cavalier about throwing spoilers around. I've read all of the books in A Song of Ice and Fire but I've only made it through the first few seasons of the TV show, and as most Game of Thrones fans know, the TV has gone in a few different directions from the series and has also started progressing beyond the books. I personally would rather read the books first, even if they are different (and that's not the reason I'm still behind on the TV show) because even though the show is different in a lot of ways, it still might have parallels to the book series and I'd rather experience those twists while I'm reading versus watching. I finally came to the point where I knew I was going to get spoiled because I was so many seasons behind so I didn't go out looking for what happened but if there was something major, I willingly acknowledged it instead of being upset and trying to hide from it.
Where I get upset is the media maybe being bit too jumpy to hang onto those spoilers to use them as attention grabbers. A major magazine had posted about a big show spoiler the day after it aired. Now that was just way, way, WAY too soon. Even if you're someone who watches the show, maybe you were on vacation, away from the TV, or taking care of something more important the night that it aired and you didn't have time to watch the show that night. That magazine just took that experience away from many, many fans who happened to not watch the show live and I think that is a definite no-no.
Where the lines blur a bit starts around a few months after a show has aired or a book has come out. I think for a book, I'd tend to wait until around six months to a year before I would even think about revealing a spoiler on social media but not everyone feels the same way. For TV shows, it seems to be even less. It's been a few months since a big Game of Thrones reveal and a major wireless network used the twist in one of their recent commercials. The "star" of the commercial is quoting lines from major movies and TV shows in his regular life, proving that he's experiencing the network's features for movies & TV, but no other quote was a spoiler except for this major Game of Thrones one. He then says to his comrades in the elevator after dumping this spoiler on them, "You guys watch Game of Thrones, right?" Well, buddy, if they didn't, you just spoiled something major for them. I guess if you don't watch the show, it doesn't matter to you one way or another. But if you're behind and in the process of catching up, then your experience just got ruined. This was one that I found out about shortly after it had happened because people couldn't stop talking about so it wasn't a huge spoiler to me, but I also felt like it was still too soon to use in a major commercial.
This really all came up because this past week's Modern Family also mentioned the same Game of Thrones spoiler and even described it in more detail, not just referenced the now-infamous line. Even though I knew that it happened, now I know even more about it that I didn't get to learn by watching the TV show. To a certain extent, I know it's my own "fault". I could find the time to catch up with the TV show and being seasons behind, I logically can't expect all spoilers to stay hidden forever, especially with such a popular series, but at the same time, I do think more precaution could be taken to at least not reveal spoilers in another form of media as a passing comment.
Spoilers come in all shapes and sizes, and through many different forms of media. Whether it's a family member who doesn't understand what a spoiler is and reveals a twist in the new Star Wars movie, a character aesthetic on Tumblr that reveals a character death, or an article in Shelf Awareness spoiling the last season of Downton Abbey for you (and yes, these all happened to me), it may never be possible to avoid all spoilers all the time. I do the best I can to keep the surprises alive. I like to go in blind to most of my books, not looking back at the synopsis before I start it to try to keep the reading experience totally fresh. I try to avoid Goodreads until I've finished that super popular series-ender so I make sure I don't see someone else's reactions that may reveal a secret or two that I haven't experienced yet. I try to skip over images, memes, and aesthetics that might have a little too much about a book or show that I haven't yet experienced… but there's only so much a person can do to stay totally in the dark when we're all so constantly connected.
Again, I think the book community has the best track record for keeping spoilers locked up, or maybe it just seems like that to me because I'm so personally invested in this community. I'm not sure how that really differs from a TV or movie fandom — or maybe it's just because I've been spoiled for more movies and TV shows than I have books, even though I read many more books than I watch TV. It's just a theory of mine with no real details to back it up!
Regardless of which form of media you're experiencing, I'd love to hear your thoughts on how long you hang onto spoilers before you talk about them! Do you always keep them under wraps, only speaking about them with clear spoiler tags and warnings? Do you feel safe talking about twists after a few months? Or a year? Does it make a difference to you how quickly you talk about a TV show versus a movie versus a book? I'd love to know your general thoughts!

Chelsea @ Books for Thought February 27, 2017 at 7:58 am
I'm glad it wasn't just me that noticed the Modern Family thing. I'm caught up in both shows but when they said the spoiler I was still caught off guard. It's basically impossible to avoid them now and I've stopped watching/reading things because of them.
I've also noticed that movie trailers recently have been spoiling the plots! What?! Have you seen the trailer for Everything Everything? It goes over every spoiler in the book in the 2 minute trailer! Crazy!
Amber Elise @ Du Livre February 27, 2017 at 9:25 am
The media is so slap happy with spoilers I swear! An entertainment network/blog spoiled a really important plot point in The 100 literally less than 24 hours after the episode. No respect.
Lauren @ Bookmark Lit February 27, 2017 at 3:07 pm
Okay I am so happy you wrote this because I have been thinking and talking about it for SO LONG and it's impossible to answer! I was really mad when I watched Modern Family with all the GoT spoilers/references. I plan on watching the show someday once its all out and HOPEFULLY I won't even remember how MF spoiled it, but still! Why would you include something like that?!
I'm similar about HP. I try to avoid major death-related spoilers but even then I feel like it's so much common knowledge now. Although, there are still so many friends NOW reading for the first time. It's hard!
I get really annoyed about TV finale spoilers online too, even if the show came out years ago. I feel like in the days of Netflix where you can binge almost any old show, years later, people should be more conscious of the fact that people are now watching for the first time. I don't mind ship-related conversations but I've seen some spoilers from Gilmore Girls (and even the revival!) that make me like meh I don't even care about watching anymore. I feel like it's my own fault for not watching sooner obviously and there should be some kind of statute of limitations on spoilers but IDK THE RIGHT ANSWER.
I feel like we live in such an "instant" society, where everyone is always so connected, that NOT talking about something immediately after it happens is almost as bad as spoiling something for someone else. The latest episode of Nashville was spoiled for me, hours after it aired, because I follow some of the stars on Facebook and they were all talking about it! For anything I truly care about, I'm either caught up or I avoid social media until I can get caught up haha
Ginger @ GReads! February 27, 2017 at 7:24 pm
What may be a spoiler to one person (especially in books) may not always be considered a spoiler to someone else. This is something I've learned in the book community. Sometimes when I see goodreads status updates of books being read super early and the reader adds their reactions (whether good or bad) at a certain page number, I cringe. To me, that is spoiling some of the book's essence. But I can totally see for others how that might not even phase them. I have yet to finish the Harry Potter series (I know, WHO AM I?!). So I've made really great efforts to stay away from any serious HP talk. But I do know that if I happen to read or hear something, that it is my own fault. Some stories are just too well known and there is no way to keep free of spoilers. My solution, I need to read faster! ha
Beth W February 27, 2017 at 9:28 pm
I am so glad I don't watch TV, because I'm multiple season behind on Game of Thrones! The last HP book was spoiled for me (weeks after its release) by a careless hotel clerk who was chatting with her friend while I waited for her to acknowledge my presence at the desk. I'm not the kind of person to go off on someone else for spoiling (how do you know what I don't know, anyway?), but I think the question largely comes down to environment. If you're at a book event, it seems plausible that people will be talking about books that recently came out, and spoilers may occur. If you're watching pop culture shows that are hip to the ways GoT has pervaded our culture, it makes sense that there would be a reference to it- although a spoiler seems….overkill. One casually tossed-out line is more what I'd expect (like how "Winter is Coming" was coopted by everyone, everywhere, for everything, for two years). I suppose it shows how awesome bookish community folks are that we take a moment to disclose a spoiler is coming, instead of just putting it out there without giving readers/watchers a chance to decide whether they want to hear this spoiler or not.
Charlie March 1, 2017 at 9:51 am
I stopped watching GOT during the second season and now it is like a monumental act of Congress to get back into it. I'm just not as interested as I was, but I still wouldn't want things spoiled for me. I am thankful my FB friends don't spoil things. I can't keep up with things on TV currently, and sites spoiling a show the day after it airs is only to draw traffic and it does ruin it for a lot of people.
Lauren @ SERIESous Book Reviews March 5, 2017 at 7:15 pm
Like you, I like to go into things not knowing the spoilers. One of my biggest peeves is people saying spoilers.
With TV shows, I give at least a 24 hour berth on talking about spoilers. Most people PVR things nowadays and don't watch them right away so I don't blame them for not watching right away.
It's hard to avoid spoilers in discussions in real life but what I appreciate about the online community is that there is always an option to disclose an upcoming spoiler. Except on Twitter, people seem to fail with that all the time -.-
Terri @ Alexia's Books and Such March 5, 2017 at 8:41 pm
Interesting discussion! I try to avoid spoilers as much as possible because like you mentioned, you never know if someone out there hasn't read/watched/listened to the story yet. For instance, it took me years before I finally watched the Harry Potter movies. With books, I tend to avoid reading reviews until after I read it myself. It's definitely harder with movies and TV shows though, especially when a reporter might mention a spoiler during the news!

College of Agriculture, Department of Botany & Plant Pathology, records
The College of Agriculture, Department of Botany & Plant Pathology Records (1918-1984; 1.4 cubic feet) consists of correspondence (1937-1950), applicant materials (1910s-1930s), two reports for the academic years 1981/82 and 1983/84, and other materials.
Correspondence, applicant materials, and reports documenting the history and administration of the Department of Botany & Plant Pathology.
The following historical sketch appears on the Department of Botany & Plant Pathology website. "The Department of Botany and Plant Pathology had its beginning with the appointment of Dr. J. C. Arthur as the first Botanist of the Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station in 1887. Much of the early research was in the classical botanical areas, but time was devoted to identification and control of noxious weeds, fungicides and their applications, and other applied problems of Indiana agriculture. The various missions of the Department have changed over the years, and in the 1930's, the department name was changed to The Department of Botany and Plant Pathology. However, the emphasis on the more fundamental aspects in not only plant pathology, but also genetics, plant physiology, mycology, virology, weed science, and other areas has been a central theme in the history of the research, teaching, and service of the department. The very first Ph.D. degree awarded from Purdue University was to a student in the Department of Botany in 1897. Teaching within the department traditionally has been strong in the graduate arena. Today the Department has over 22 faculty members who teach and mentor our graduate student population. The faculty continue to recruit top students into the program and pride themselves on producing well-rounded researchers. In 1971, an undergraduate option in Crop Protection was introduced jointly with the Department of Entomology. In 1990, the Department of Botany and Plant Pathology introduced their own option in Plant Science. In 2001, a third undergraduate option titled Environmental Plant Studies was introduced as well as the Plant Science option name change to Plant Biology. The College of Agriculture made a college wide effort in 2012 to reduce the number of majors to prevent confusion during recruitment. As a result, the Department consolidated down to one major, Plant Science. Within that major students can choose from three areas of concentration; Plant Cell and Molecular Biology, Plant Ecology and Environment, or Plant Health Management."

As part of its on-going attempts to reform and better the education system, CBSE launched the CCE system - Comprehensive and Continuous Evaluation. The exciting part of this system is that it has an inherent flexibility which allows schools to plan individualized academic schedules within the guidelines laid down in the CCE. Our school has implemented this system for Classes IX to XII as per the agenda of this scheme. We will include the primary and remaining secondary classes as and when the next phase of this system is put into action. The aim of this scheme for the primary classes is to provide a stress-free learning environment and also to bring them under the same holistic programme as the senior classes.
The CCE system assists students in improving their performance in school by pinpointing the learning difficulties and showcasing the strengths. In order to remove the troubles a student may have in learning, simple remedial measures are employed to alleviate the problems. The underlying principle of this system discourages schools from assessing students and their learning capability based on one final-term examination but move towards having continuous and inclusive assessments.
The CCE system has a clearly defined two-fold objective.
This means that the assessments will be spread over the duration of an academic session and continuity in evaluation will be maintained.
This encompasses not just the academic part of learning but also the non-academic and co-curricular aspects covering the complete realm of a student's development and progress.
The CCE system is a well-rounded system of learning as focus is laid on developing every aspect of the child leading to balanced individuals. The introduction of the CCE method is not about undermining the importance of academic excellence, rather about additionally acquiring life skills that would hold the child in good stead in the years to come.

Joss Whedon Confirms Loki Scene Was Cut from Avengers: Age of Ultron
Avengers: Age of UltronAvengers: Age of Ultron
By Max Evry
Remember back in November when, much to Joss Whedon's chagrin, Heimdall actor Idris Elba let it slip that he had shot a scene for Avengers: Age of Ultron with Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston? If you see the movie this weekend, you might notice that Hiddleston's Loki is conspicuously absent from said scene, and MTV talked to the writer/director about what happened to this lost cameo.
"Tom is not in the movie… Idris misspoke… twice," Whedon laughs. "We did shoot something and it didn't play. The movie has so much, is so filled and we didn't want it to feel overstuffed. I really wanted to have Loki in it but I understood the decision, 'Now there are too many voices in the chorus.' At some point the embarrassment of riches is actually embarrassing."
Hopefully this moment with everyone's favorite trickster god will make its way to the deleted scenes of the Avengers: Age of Ultron Blu-ray, or perhaps even be reconstituted into the body of Thor: Ragnarok, the same way the excised scene of Bruce Banner attempting suicide in The Incredible Hulk was integrated into the dialogue of the first Avengers.
In related news, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige clarified which Infinity Stones we have yet to see in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
"Time and Soul are the two that are not accounted for," he tells CraveOnline. Where do you think these two will pop up in the MCU before Avengers: Infinity War? Let us know in the comments below!
Avengers: Age of Ultron is the epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time. When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth's Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to The Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure.
Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron stars Robert Downey Jr., who returns as Iron Man, along with Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk. Together with Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and with the additional support of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Don Cheadle as James Rhodes/War Machine, Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria Hill and Stellan Skarsgård as Erik Selvig, the team must reassemble to defeat James Spader as Ultron, a terrifying technological villain hell-bent on human extinction. Along the way, they confront two mysterious and powerful newcomers, Wanda Maximoff, played by Elizabeth Olsen, and Pietro Maximoff, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and meet an old friend in a new form when Bettany becomes Vision.
Written and directed by Joss Whedon and produced by Kevin Feige, Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron is based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series "The Avengers," first published in 1963. Louis D'Esposito, Alan Fine, Victoria Alonso, Jeremy Latcham, Patricia Whitcher, Stan Lee and Jon Favreau serve as executive producers. Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron is now playing in theaters everywhere.

The U.S. Justice Department announced charges Friday against 12 Russian intelligence officers suspected of hacking into the Democratic National Committee, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the campaign of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
The indictments were announced by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein as part of the ongoing probe by special counsel Robert Mueller into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Russian intelligence officers began a program of cyberattacks in March 2016. They aimed to hack the email accounts of employees of Clinton's presidential campaign.
"The defendants covertly monitored the computers, implanted hundreds of files containing malicious computer code, and stole emails and other documents," Rosenstein said in a press conference Friday.
According to the indictment, the conspirators also hacked into the computer network of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and Democratic National Committee. They searched a campaign committee computer specifically for terms including "Hillary," "Cruz," "Trump" and "Benghazi Investigations".
Once they had access to the information, Rosenstein said, the Russians created fictitious online personas, such as "DCLeaks" and "Guccifer 2.0," to release stolen emails, such as those belonging to Clinton campaign chairman Jon Podesta, and other information.
Russian officers also hacked a state election board's website, the indictment said, and stole the information of around 500,000 voters. They hacked into computers belonging to a company that supplies software that local and state election offices use to verify voter information, the indictment also charges.
While they corresponded with several Americans during the operation, there is no allegation in the indictment that any U.S. citizen committed a crime, Rosenstein said.
He also said that there is no evidence brought in this indictment that the hacking had any impact on the election results.
The indictment also says that Russians provided opposition research to a congressional candidate. That person is not named.
The Mueller investigation has been charged with looking into U.S. intelligence findings that Russians interfered in the 2016 presidential election, and if they had any links or coordinated with President Donald Trump's campaign.

Grimsby Town Transfer News
Ian Holloway on his remaining transfer plans for Grimsby Town as deadline day nears
We might not see any more incomings, but there could be some outgoings from Blundell Park

Grimsby Town's business in the transfer window is done after adding their 13th and 14th new signings, Ian Holloway has said.
The Mariners added West Brom striker Owen Windsor and Bristol Rovers midfielder Kyle Bennett to their ranks as the pair both joined in season-long loans.
There is still a week left in the domestic transfer window, which continued after the international window closed on Monday, meaning Town can still do business with any of their EFL rivals.
But Holloway seems to be happy to stick at 14 rather than twist, and is now planning ahead as his side aim to get off the mark in League Two when they head to Bolton on Saturday.

On his new signings, Holloway told Grimsby Live: "They're the troops that I need. As I say, we weren't finished, I had lots of irons in the fire, now I believe we are finished.
"Owen's a bull of a number nine, number 10, he's exactly what we need. Hans (James Hanson) is training, so he's coming back, and Kyle Bennett, I'm delighted to get someone of his experience, nous and skill to help me with my younger ones, and now the competition I've got is well-needed.
"I've got lots of options, and everybody's in different places. Now, we've got to play games, and I've got to teach these people what to do.
"We're in a war now, we're in a battle, and every one of these next few games is going to be a total battle because we're behind where we want to be, we're behind in games, and we're behind in actual training time for these lads who have only just got here.
"It is what it is, we've got to get on with it, and I'm delighted to have someone with Kyle's experience, who's played at a higher level all his life, and it's a joy to have him.
"I'm really, really pleased with the business we've done, and now I've got to settle them all down, find out where they are, talk about how we need to play in the very next match, and then do a big plan for the next two or three months of what people need individually to make sure we get up to speed with them.
"I've got an awful lot of planning to do, I've never had to do it this way, but we're on it, we're at it, and we're ready to go."

Although there might not be any more incomings over the next week, it looks likely we'll see some outgoings.
"I'm more than happy with things, and now I've got to get to work," Holloway added.
"For me, our fans have got to realise that we're two games short of others, we've played two games and we're bottom of the league at the minute, and that's not where I want to be.

"We've got an awful lot of work to do, and we're going to have to scrap and fight to start with, block up things, just because we don't know what our identity is with the lads being brand new to each other.
"It's going to be tough over the next couple of weeks, but I really can't wait. We had a fantastic day on Thursday, I know where everybody is, we're ready to put them on a plan, and I might be loaning some of them out to catch them up for the next month."

The day after the seventh day of Sukkot (also known as hoshana rabba) we have another Holiday: Shemini Atzeret which, technically, is a different holiday,independent from sukkot.
During Shemini Atzeret we do not have anymore the Mitzva of Lulab and Etrog.
As for the sukka, in Israel, during shemini atzeret the sukka should not be used. The meals should take place at home (lo tosif!). In the Diaspora, because of the ancient calendar system, we still use the sukka for the first day of Shemini Atzeret, but without reciting any blessing.
As any other holiday (Yom Tob), outside of Israel, Shemini Atzeret is celebrated during two days. The special thing about this Holiday's second day, known as Simchat Tora, is that it celebrates the end of the annual cycle of Tora reading and the uninterrupted beginning the new reading cycle, from bereshit.
We sing and dance around the Tora, expressing our joy for being part of the people chosen by God to follow His Tora.
A class I gave last night on Gilad Shalit and the Talmudic sources of Pidyon Shebuyim (releasing a Jewish captive).
Tonight and tomorrow is Hoshanna Rabba.
The days of Sukkot were days of a special happiness in the Bet haMikdash (Temple of Jerusalem).
In addition to the Biblical commandment of taking the four species, there weretwo other Mitzvot fulfilled in the Temple to celebrate Sukkot. These two practices are included in what is called halakha leMoshe miSinai (religious traditions taught to Moses at Mount Sinai, with no Scriptural source). One of them wasmitzvat 'araba: The 'commandment of the willow' (the second Mitzva was nisukh hamayim). (The commandment of the willow should not be confused with the two arabot, the willow branches that are included in the four species, tied together with the lulab and hadas).
There was a place in the outskirts of Jerusalem called Motza (which exists to this day). Each day of Sukkot, the people would descend there and cut down large willow branches (18-20 feet tall). The willows would be placed along the foundation of the altar, with their heads bent over the top" (Sukkah 4, 5).
Since the altar itself was 15 feet high, the branches would hang over the top of the altar on all four sides. Each day of Sukkot, the priests would march one time around the altar, making a circle with their lulabim in hand, praying to the Almighty "We beseech You, O Lord, please save us! We beseech You, O L-rd, please grant us success!" (ana haShem hoshi'a na; ana haShem hatzlicha na). On the seventh and last day of the festival, Hoshana Rabba, they would circle the altar seven times (remember the conquest of Jericho?).
Today, in our Synagogues we circuit the 'bima' every day of sukkot (hakafot) with our lulab and etrog, and on the seventh day, Hoshana rabba, we do seven circuits, in remembrance of the Bet haMikdash.
Following a Kabbalistic custom, it is also customary to stay awake all night on Hoshana Rabba studying Torah.
What did Israelis do wrong?
"During seven days you must live in huts (sukkot), all Israelites must live in thatched huts. This is so that your future generations will know that I 'accommodated/hosted' the children of Israel in huts when I brought them out of Egypt. I am the Lord your God." (Vayikra 23:44).
The rabbis explained that to fulfill this Mitzva we should leave our residences and settle in the Sukka. They said in Masekhet Sukka (2,9) "All seven days of the festival, each one should turn the sukka into his permanent residence, and his house into the temporary one"
'Living' in the sukka means that, regular activities we do at home, should take place in the sukka.
We should have all our meals in the sukka. According to Jewish Law, all formal meals, which are defined by the recitation of hamotzi and birkat hamazon, musttake place in the sukka. That is why, when having a formal meal we recite the berakha: ....asher kiddeshanu bemitzvotav vetztivanu leesheb basukka.
Pastries, cakes, cookies, etc. (mezonot) should be eaten inside the sukka.
A snack (a fruit, a salad, a soda) could be eaten outside the sukka. The rabbis, however, praised those pious Jews who during the festival of Sukkot, would not eat or drink anything outside the sukka.
Sleeping in the sukka is an essential part of the Mitzva of settle ourselves in the sukka. However, the fulfillment of this Mitzva depends on two factors: weather conditions (cold and obviously rain) and the physical condition (health, sensitivity to cold, age, etc.) of each individual.
Other regular activities that we normally do at home, like studying, reading, etc. should be done in the sukka as well.

Car accidents can be emotionally devastating for drivers and occupants alike. Those involved must deal with their own potential injuries, emotional trauma, and hospital stays, along with property damage, days or weeks without transportation, the difficulty of caring for loved ones and dependents during this time, and stressful insurance claims. Car accidents come in many forms. The most familiar ones are collisions between two or more vehicles, which often occur at intersections, during lane changes, and in parking lots. Accidents can also involve pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists, or may just involve one car.
In Nevada in 2015, 326 people were killed in fatal car accidents, 210 of which occurred in Clark County, where Las Vegas is located. As many Las Vegas natives already know, the sheer amount of tourism and weekend visitors to the city increases the likelihood of both minor and major car accidents. Drivers are not only unfamiliar with the roads, they may choose to drive under the influence or become distracted by the sights of the new city. For every fatality, there are dozens of injuries, instances of property damage, and minor collisions.
Give the other driver(s) his or her name, address, and vehicle's registration number. He or she must also show their driver's license if requested to any other driver, vehicle occupant, or person attending the damaged property.
Give the same information to the police and surrender his or her license to the police who are investigating.
Perform any reasonable assistance possible to those injured in the crash, including taking the person to a hospital or doctor or calling in emergency medical services.
Report the accident to the local police station or to the Nevada Highway Patrol as soon as possible after the accident occurs if the police do not come to the scene.
In most cases, a police officer will investigate the accident immediately and file the report with information from both parties including names, addresses, insurance information, driver's licenses, and vehicle details. If they do not, however, you are required to fill out this information in a form later, so it is necessary to gather all the available information from the other drivers immediately.
In addition, it is never a bad idea to take photos at the scene of the accident, including photos of any immediate injuries, damage to the vehicles, the layout of the accident, the intersection or road where the accident occurred, any construction work or signs, and weather conditions. If applicable, a driver can also ask witnesses for contact information if they are willing to provide it.
Usually, the first step after sustaining injuries or substantial property damage in a car accident is to file a claim with the other driver's insurance company. Nevada is a "fault" state in car accident liability, meaning that the person who was at fault for the accident is responsible for paying for any damage or losses that were incurred. So, if you were injured due to someone else's negligent driving, you would file a claim with their insurance company.
If the insurance claim is not successfully negotiated, or if the injuries are extremely serious, drivers or passengers involved in car accidents may choose to file a lawsuit. Lawsuits stemming from automobile accidents generally fall under three categories: negligence, wrongful death, or product liability. If you decide to begin the process of filing a lawsuit, a Las Vegas Personal Injury Attorney can offer much-needed guidance.
Nevada practices something called "comparative negligence" or "shared fault" when allocating blame in car accidents. If your case ends up in court, the jury will decide which percentage of the blame can be given to which parties. For instance, if a car accident was caused by someone turning left across an intersection without checking oncoming traffic properly, but the other driver did not respond as quickly as they could have to avoid the accident, the first driver might be determined to be 80% at fault, while the second driver could be found to be 20% at fault.
The jury will also determine the amount of the award, which will be adjusted according to the comparative negligence. This means that, for example, if a victim was awarded $50,000 for their injuries, but they were found to be 20% at fault for the accident, their award would be reduced by 20% and they would receive $40,000 instead of the original $50,000. In order for an award to be given to a car crash victim, they must be less that 50% responsible for the accident. If they are more than 50% responsible, no award will be given.
In Nevada, personal injury lawsuits of any kind must be filed within 2 years of the date on which the accident occurred. This law is strict, and courts will most likely refuse to hear the case of a lawsuit filed after the allocated two-year window. This means that car accident victims must act quickly to recover for their losses.
Whether you are attempting to file a claim or considering a lawsuit against another driver, an experienced personal injury attorney can greatly increase your ability to recover just compensation. Without proper documentation and ample evidence, it can be difficult to prove your claim to an insurance company or jury, especially if another driver is contradicting you.

Marketers often get confused between the terms "Omnichannel Marketing" and "Multichannel Marketing". Let's understand what how these two terms differ from each other along with proper examples.
"Omni" means "in all places" and "Omnichannel Marketing" refers to the practice where the brand creates a seamless experience to the consumer no matter on which channel he/she prefers to purchase.
What The Brand Needs to Answer For Effective Omnichannel Marketing?
What are the various touchpoints of the customer like website, mobile app, social media, brick and mortar store etc.?
What are the key tasks or actions that the customers perform throughout their shopping journey like saving the items in the cart, saving the items in the wishlist etc.?
What are the emotional and rational aspects of the purchase that go through every customer's mind?
Do you have a central location for storing all of your customer data?
Are your marketing channels integrated with each other?
Do you offer automated customer interactions like those happening with the help of a chatbot?
Once you have answered each of these questions, you already have the data for creating an effective seamless experience to the customer. The real essence of Omnichannel marketing is that the customer should be able to begin their purchase journey from where they left no matter whatever channel they use.
Let's take an example to make this concept clearer. Suppose a customer browses your e-store from a laptop and saves some items in the cart for future purchase. Thereafter, the customer visits your brick and mortar store to see and feel the items physically. Here, the sales persons attending the customer are already aware about the items that the customer saved in his/her cart with the help of a Tab that is present in the brick and mortar store. Hence, the customer has no difficulty communicating to the salespersons what he/she needs. Once the customer is satisfied with the quality of the products, the final purchase is made using a mobile app (again, the customer doesn't need to re-add the chosen items in the cart from the mobile app, when the customer logs in, the items are already there in the cart).
As stated earlier, the customer should be able to begin their purchase journey from where they left providing a seamless experience. This is what we call as "Omnichannel Marketing".
"Multi" means "many" and "Multichannel Marketing" refers to the practice of communicating with the customers using a number of channels like email, social media, banners, catalogs, SMS, online ads etc. Here, the marketing channels used by the brand may or may not be integrated.
What The Brand Needs to Answer For Effective Multichannel Marketing?
Do you have a list of channels that your brand currently covers? Are they able to fulfill the needs of the customers?
Is your brand missing a channel which the customer likes to use the most? (Suppose a customer is active on social media but your brand is still not actively pursuing the customer on social media).
Do you have agents who are constantly working on just one channel thereby leading to monotony and failing to achieve a superior customer service on each and every channel?
Is your brand able to interact with prospective customers across a variety of channels?
Once you have answered each of these questions, you already have the data for creating an effective multichannel experience to the customer. The real essence of Multichannel marketing is that the customer should be able to find your brand no matter whichever channel they use.
Let's take an example to make this concept clearer. Suppose a customer is searching for online shoes on Google and finds your website. The customer browses some items from your website. Now, the same customer visits Facebook and is able to find your brand and the browsed products with the help of remarketing. After a day the customer finds an email from your brand in the inbox asking to complete the purchase. Finally, the customer makes the purchase when an SMS is received from your brand offering the customer a 20% discount for a purchase made within 24 hours.
As stated earlier, the customer should be able to find your brand no matter whichever channel they use. This is what we call as "Multichannel Marketing".
Both Omnichannel Marketing and Multichannel Marketing are important strategies for brand marketing. Omnichannel marketing offers an integrated and seamless customer experience across all the targeted channels whereas Multichannel Marketing is only focused on increasing the number of channels to target prospects.

Turkish court sentences leaders of 2016 attempted coup to life in jail | CBC News
By Daily Echoed
A Turkish court sentenced leaders of a 2016 attempted coup to life in jail on Thursday, convicting hundreds of army officers, pilots and civilians over a failed bid to topple President Recep Tayyip Erdogan directed from an air base near the capital Ankara.
More than 250 people were killed in the July 15, 2016, coup attempt when rogue soldiers commandeered warplanes, helicopters and tanks to take control of institutions and overthrow Erdogan's government.
The trial of nearly 500 defendants was the highest profile of dozens of court cases targeting thousands of people accused of involvement in the coup attempt, which Ankara blamed on supporters of the U.S.-based Muslim preacher Fethullah Gulen. He has denied having any role.
Based at the Akinci air base, the defendants were accused of directing the coup and bombing government buildings, including parliament, and attempting to kill Erdogan. Many of the military commanders involved have already been sentenced to life in jail.
"The treacherous network which rained bombs on parliament, the presidency and our people was convicted again before justice and our nation," said Omer Celik, Erdogan's AK Party spokesperson.
"It is continuing to organize every kind of treachery in various countries to harm Turkey," he wrote on Twitter. "Our battle with putchist terrorism will continue."
475 people on trial
Four ringleaders, dubbed "civilian imams" over their ties to Gulen's network, were among 19 defendants who received 79 aggravated life sentences for charges of attempting to assassinate the president, murder and seeking to overthrow the constitutional order, state-owned Anadolu news agency said.
F-16 pilots who carried out attacks were also among those given aggravated life sentences — the severest punishment in Turkish courts — meaning there is no possibility of parole.

Most of the other defendants also received life sentences, while 19 were jailed for aiding the coup and 41 for terrorist group membership. Seventy people were acquitted, Anadolu said.
Turkey's then-military chief and now Defence Minister Hulusi Akar and other commanders were held captive for several hours at the base on the night of the coup. A total of 475 people were on trial, 365 of them in custody.
Sustained crackdown
The 79-year-old cleric Gulen, who was once an ally of Erdogan and has denied any role in the coup, was one of six defendants being tried in absentia. Their dossiers were separated from the main trial, media reports said.
The government declared a state of emergency in Turkey — a NATO member and candidate for European Union membership — after the failed coup and carried out a large-scale crackdown that alarmed Ankara's Western allies.
Some 292,000 people have been detained over alleged links to Gulen, nearly 100,000 of them jailed pending trial, Anadolu cited Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu as saying.
Some 150,000 civil servants were sacked or suspended after the coup, with some 20,000 expelled from the military. Courts have handed down more than 2,500 life sentences.
Four years on, police operations targeting suspects accused of links to Gulen continue on a regular basis.
The government has said the crackdown was needed given the security challenges that Turkey has faced to root out a network of Gulen supporters deeply embedded in the state apparatus.
